The federal government is partially shut down, at least until the U.S. House of Representatives gets back to work on Tuesday. The Senate did vote for a deal—one that President Donald Trump approves of—over the weekend, but it's not totally clear that Speaker Mike Johnson will have the votes. At the very least, he needs virtually every single Republican House member to return to Washington, D.C. The Republican margin in the house is currently 218–213—about to become 218–214.
"I have a one-vote margin, yes, for the rest of 2026," said Johnson, according to CNBC. "But we're going to demonstrate once again that this is the party that takes governing seriously."
